About Sunil

An award-winning screenwriter-producer, Sunil specializes in thrillers based on true events with female leads in unconventional roles and loves to give them twist endings.

His screenplays and TV shows, including the feature “THE INFIDEL BRIDE” and TV Pilot “THE URBAN NAXAL,” have been finalists in several international screenwriting contests.

He is a veteran TV executive producer with two decades of crafting stories for international brands like National Geographic, Sony Entertainment, ESPN and MTV.

In 2014, he started his own company, Orchid Room Productions, which he envisioned as a multi-ethnic writer's room. He produced his first short film under The Kyo Project (the social impact arm) titled, "ALMOST NORMAL."
